Biakabutuka Show on ESPN Classic Tonight
Was just checking out the prime time lineup for tonight and saw that the '95 Ohio game is on ESPN Classic at 8. So for those looking to start off Ohio week with a little positive energy or who don't like watching Brady in a Patriots uniform here's your opportunity. If anybody in AA lives next door to Fitz maybe leave a little note on his door letting him know there's some great inspiration for him on tv.

is a great idea. I think I know where I'll be at 8 pm.
November 21st, 2011 at 6:08 PM ^
You have 1997 points! No more posts for you this week. It's a good omen.
November 21st, 2011 at 6:10 PM ^
Hope he doesn't get upvoted!
November 21st, 2011 at 7:47 PM ^
...then I hope he understands the reason behind the downvote that will follow.
November 21st, 2011 at 6:09 PM ^
I'm 28 and remember that game well. He dismantled them with ease. I don't remember his exact yardage though. wasn't it 300+ though?
November 21st, 2011 at 6:18 PM ^
He had 313 yards as a UM team that had underachieved most of the year took out the undefeated 2nd ranked ohio team 31-23. I remember it like it was yesterday. Nobody gave us a chance as we were going up against the eventual Heisman Trophy winner in Eddie George. Terry Glenn spouted off early in the week about how Woodson should have stayed in Ohio and really wasn't that good anyway. Woodson had an interception in that game and shut down Glenn. Biakabutuka would not go down. It seemed like every carry went for 10-20 yards and he was carrying defenders on his back for 5 yards before going down. If Fitz plays half as well as Tim B did that day, we'll be in for a treat.

Woodson had 2 interceptions. One to start the 3rd quarter and one with a minute left in the game to seal the victory.
That was a post-Thanksgiving game and Greg Mattison was Defensive Coordinator. That was also Brady Hoke's first year on the staff.
November 21st, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
... and Greg Mattison looks the same! Thanks for posting the video, I've never seen this one before.

Always get nostalgic watching old Michigan Replay. Thanks for posting.

"Jim, that was a tremendous defensive play."
<br>
<br>That was my last game as a student (after 4 years of undergrad and 3 years in law school). Thank you posting that. What great memories.

Carrying 37 times. That is just insane dominance. Ridiculous.
November 21st, 2011 at 7:32 PM ^
And his longest run was 44 yards. That average wasn't due to one or two super-long runs, but gamelong dominance.
November 21st, 2011 at 6:14 PM ^
That, my friends, was an excellent game. It's like OSU wasn't even there.
November 21st, 2011 at 6:15 PM ^
2003 game on now. Our last W. Soon to be second to last.
November 21st, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
Watching the 2003 game right now god that massive play to edwards breaking those two tackles on the long run after the catch was so huge. He was a monster in college
November 21st, 2011 at 6:18 PM ^
1995 is an appropriate game to show this week given that Fickell had such a horrible day.
November 21st, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
is my earliest sports memory. Might have to relive it tonight!
November 21st, 2011 at 6:30 PM ^
Best name ever, hands down.
November 21st, 2011 at 6:58 PM ^
313 yards...
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA
November 21st, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
Why Comcast/ Xfinity says ESPN Classic is 'Not Authorized"? I have standard HD/HBO package, but do I need a sports package for Classic? Seems like it should be fairly standard
November 21st, 2011 at 8:05 PM ^
they're playing the NASCAR race from Sunday. This is an outrage
November 21st, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
So pissed now!
November 21st, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
yea i just turned on the channel to check the last hour out and fucking Nascar is on.. snoozefest
November 21st, 2011 at 9:58 PM ^
....no wonder I thought it looked slow. I expected to see more speed out of our Tailback!
November 21st, 2011 at 8:13 PM ^
Screwed by NASCAR. What a bunch of bull.
November 21st, 2011 at 8:16 PM ^
Wow. What a bummer...
November 21st, 2011 at 9:17 PM ^
Instant Classic'd.
November 21st, 2011 at 10:10 PM ^
I remember when I was little and I always used to think Biakabutuka was hurt because he would always stay on the ground for a couple seconds after getting tackled.
November 21st, 2011 at 11:03 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:21 AM ^
ESPN Classic is so unreliable...last week it was all-Coach K all the time, today it's Nascar...
November 23rd, 2011 at 12:05 AM ^
That explains why its classic.
